Different kind of bug, not software-related. But we fixed two things that have been bugging us.
The generator now has a permanent concrete pad to perch upon, and a cover over it's head to keep the rain off.
Who knows? Next year we might even put a concrete sidewalk out to the generator to facilitate carrying gas cans and shoveling a path. The prior cover for the generator consisted of a piece of plywood, which we had to move from on top of the generator, after first removing any snow that fell between the times we ran the generator, and then replace it when we were done using the generator. This was bugging us for a few years. We’re nothing, if not speedy, about fixing some things.
And I finally got around to cleaning the outside of the cookstove. It looks brand new again.
The chrome around the top of the stove, and on the front doors and top, very gradually gets mucked up by cooking, and grabbing handles with the welding gloves which are perched on top of the warming oven when handling wood to feed the fire. It built up over time, until finally, at last, I snapped and bought some stuff for scraping off the tarnish and baked on grease from oil splattering when making pancakes. It took hours, over several days time, but now it looks all spiffy. Once every 20 years whether it needs it or not! Hasn’t been that long but the fact I can’t remember the last time I did that was a clue it was way overdue.
So now I feel like splitting some firewood and doing some cooking. The cooler weather is coming soon, and we’ll start using this again.
